Synopsis:

Racers come from all around the universe to compete in the Redline race – an illegal car race where the stakes are high and anything goes.  JP finds himself racing against the girl of his dreams and an assortment of heavily arms racers all hell bent on one winning Redline.  To make matters worse for JP, the venue for Redline is a military state that has outlawed racing.

With every car armed to the teeth in the race, who will survive long enough to cross the finish line?  If you ever wondered what would happen if you made an adult version of Wacky Races – then this film is for you!
